Chris Petersen returns to Boise for an ‘awkward’ UW season opener

BOISE —

The French dip is gone, replaced by an Idaho Philly the server promises is just as good. Maybe even better.

Here on the corner of West Idaho Street and North 8th Street, in the heart of the city he helped put on the college football radar, Chris Petersen would come to the Fork restaurant and enjoy what he called the best French dip he’s ever had.

“He always laughed at my jokes,” said Cody Meurer, a server who waited on Petersen several times over the years. A new chef recently took over, and a new menu was created.
